It’s a fantastic trigger, one of the best striker-fired triggers I’ve felt. The OZ9 has a short take-up, a little bit of creep, than a very crisp break, and super positive reset. But it’s not the spongy and twangy break of a Glock. The trigger of my test gun broke at a consistent 3.5 pounds. In my humble opinion, the Zev trigger is the best Glock trigger on the market. Rounding out the receiver upgrades are the addition of a metal magazine release and optional magazine well. However, it’s not so sharp that it abrades the hand while shooting or the body during concealed carry. I would call it aggressive, keeping your hand locked into position. At least for me, the OZ9 pointed naturally, and the grip gave me improved recoil control. Of course, everyone is different, but the steeper angle on the grip typically feels more natural to most shooters. This solid steel frame runs the length of the entire pistol allowing the locking block to be fully integrated. At the heart of the OZ9 is Zev Tech.’s patented steel receiver. Zev changed the standard Glock grip angle to something more similar that of a 1911. The TRIARC Systems OZ9 is a collaboration between Zev Technologies and TRIARC Systems to incorporate our custom features into the OZ9 Platform. This iteration of the Standard O. Zev also changed the grip angle to be more like a 1911, right, which tends to point better for most shooters. ZEV Tech O.Z-9 Combat 9mm, Optic-Ready, 4.5' Barrel, Black, 2x 17rd PMAG. The steel receiver also increases the weight and overall balance of the gun, allowing faster and more accurate follow-up shots. But this ended up producing a more controllable pistol with less felt recoil and muzzle flip. Before shooting it, I didn’t think Zev’s new receiver design could make that much of a difference. This system increases the rigidity and overall smoothness of the recoil impulse. The steel receiver runs the length of the polymer frame and includes an integrated locking block and extended rails. Much like the Sig P320 system, the serialized part of the gun is a steel receiver that can be moved around to different polymer frames to give you the flexibility to change your pistol from a compact carry piece to a full-sized competition platform. Let’s start with the receiver of the OZ9.


Zev decked out the slide, but the receiver below it is actually one of the more interesting customizations.
